Sometimes the things that you are most afraid of are the things that make you the happiest.

When we were kids we were always ready to do the things we wanted to do. When we were kids it was always easy go lucky for us. When we were kids we didn't worry about anything. When we were kids we didn't think much about things. When we were kids we were happier.

We were happier because we had no worries. We were happier because we weren't hurt. We were happier because nothing was stopping us from doing what made us happy. We were happier because we weren't scared of doing what made us happy. We were happier because we were fearless.

Now that we're a little older, we overthink everything. We let little things prevent us from doing what makes us happy. We're scared of doing what makes us happy.

We're scared because we think that we're going to fail. We're scared because we think that we're going to get hurt. We're scared because we think that everything's going to go wrong.

We let our fears prevent us from doing what makes us happy. We let our fears control us. We let our fears decide for us. We listen to our fears because the last time we ignored it we got hurt.

We're scared of happiness. We're scared of happiness because we know that sometimes happiness can also hurt you. We fear to be happy just to get hurt.
